  • Baking, Boarding, and Beyond

    Don’t it always seem to go, that when you are actually doing things it’s hard to sit down and write about them… Jetting (or rather, turbo-propping) off again The week came with another stint across the water. This time it was much smoother with no delays, and on the way back I had enough time…

  • Isle Trotting

    This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend.

    Or at least I’d like to… Half a week in Southampton and a failed platelet donation later, and I’m left with little energy to write. Time for a throw back list! I was heartened to read a recent comment that someone had fixed their sewing machine off the back of a post I wrote a…

  • A Barbican Brunch

    The title says it all. We were down in the city centre of Plymouth several times over the weekend for Seafest-related events (and Toddler Club at Everyman, of course). On Saturday after the cinema we had a quick walk through the stalls on display at Royal William Yard and got to try some circus equipment…
